       Colder again last night 34 F at 5 am but with the sun rising warmed up quickly. Out  for my last walkabout here on this visit , always loving the views here. Taking our time getting ready to head out with a nice short drive today. Love our travel days we were dues to move after 2 weeks.
love the desert views here gonna miss them
        We secured our coach dumped our sewage topped up some fresh water, hooked up the car and headed east on AZ 86 for 111 miles. A wonderful 2 lane road very scenic and next to no traffic at all. Love this drive.
so quiet and scenic
lots of saguaro cactus along this route as well.
      And so many colourful desert flowers, hard to take a picture at 55 mph though.
       We arrived at Casino Del Sol in Tucson by 11:30 am found a parking spot at the back huge lot I am sure there is a couple of hundred rv';s camped here. I did a couple of minor repairs, enjoyed a light lunch then took a walk to check out the casino again just because I could. Only here once before can easily get lost in there.
a nice quiet spot we have.
       Beautiful grounds here like most casinos, lots of nice cactus gardens and varieties as well.
nice tree thought maybe a lilac but does not smell like them 
the hotel
side casino entrance
the Amphiteatre for outdoor concerts




















        Back home to relax outside in the very warm afternoon sunshine . Next to no wind but felt wonderful only 59 F  but the sun was nice. We enjoyed our e-readers for a couple of hours, a nice quiet happy hour here.
the view right in front of us , perfect
yup we got another corner site
enjoying  the blue Arizona skies
this rv drove , huge , from Germany
     We decided just after 4 pm to head into the casino and enjoy an early supper , Just because plus we are heading tomorrow into another time zone. loosing an hour trying to adjust now.
this nice Prevost is camped just up from us 
this guy has enough power I think???
this cactus with a few babies
love the lawn here looks like a golf green

inside the casino one of the wings 
     Our goal was Mobys for supper, we were here last year and enjoyed the food pretty reasonable and tasty.
love the atmosphere here
smiling Suzie ready to eat
we shared a salad to start
shrimp alfredo for Suzie
fish and chips for me Haddock was tasty
    We enjoyed our meals and took enough home for supper tomorrow night. Free camping tonight so we figured we could enjoy a tasty meal here, fair exchange I think.
      After this thought, maybe a donation to the casino fund as well. Its been a long time since we enjoyed  some slot time entertainment for a while only 10 bucks each, now got that our of our system for a while as well.
     We had a nice easy travel day, got to where we wanted to be , enjoyed some great weather casino fun and a tasty treat for supper.
our slot machine fix too
     Back home we relaxing inside and caught a nice casino parking lot sunset  then soon called it a night. Watch a show or two on the tube.
not a bad casino sunset


111 miles today
    That was our fun day hope you had good one as well , thanks for travelling along with us.

       Now into Quail Ridge check in and set up.
Bill , Patsy and Clemson welcomed us here
Doggie fix for Suzie
           Here we got a nice greeting from Bill, Patsy and Clemson. Patsy' blog HERE   Soon we were all set up, Thanks to Bill for your help. Seems like my arthritis is acting up again, my left thumb and and knee not working to well. Sucks getting old. Must be something to do with the weather? I hope.... After Bills help we had a light lunch and I wrapped them both with a tensor bandage and some stuff I have from my chiropractor and a couple of advil, seems to help after a while I am mobile once again.
got this from my Chiropractor as sure did the trick
     Now to relax outside and enjoy the warm sunshine while we can, Me feeling almost new again! love it.
